Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Richard Nixon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Takeshi Yuudai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nixon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Upsetters - Dread Lion. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
