Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Calvin Thompson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Thompson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to LL Cool J - Mamma Said Knock You Out. James has chosen We Want The Funk by George Clinton & the P-Funk Allstars as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
