Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Taco Mcgibblets (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Taz Rutten (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Mcgibblets might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to enrique iglesiasI Like It (Jersey Shore Version). Rutten comes into a darkened arena with his song building. IF I DIE TONIGHT kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Mcgibblets has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
