Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johan Moneymaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Papa Pop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Moneymaker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Coming Home. Pop has chosen The Final Countdown as his entrance music. Papa Pop struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 186.5lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Johan Moneymaker has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
