Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brandon Hale (ranked 1955 p4p, 252 weight class) and Tulio Souza (ranked 9480 p4p, 741 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hale might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dead Sara - Weatherman. 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 Tulio Souza was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
