Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Walt Nightman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sero Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nightman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Night Man. Kim has chosen CANON in D Korean Version (with gayageum) as his entrance music. Sero Kim has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
