Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Baddusousus Fatherfockerusus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Joseph (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fatherfockerusus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Born to be wild by Steppenwolf. Joseph is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by TEARS FOR FEARS - SHOUT. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
