Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Oliver Queen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Todd Flanders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Queen might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fat Joe - Money Over Bitches [Feat Too $hort & TA]. Flanders has chosen Jaw of Glass - Blondie as his entrance music. Oliver Queen had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
