Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Probst (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Safo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Probst might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Control. Safo has chosen Up Your Speed by Sway DaSafo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
