Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Henry Winkler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Goins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Winkler might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mortal Kombat. Goins has chosen 50 Cent- God Gave me style as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Leroy Goins was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
