Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jermaine Choake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Curtis Sharp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Choake might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hans Zimmer - The Kraken. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
