Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Okin Slavas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Glenn Benton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Slavas might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to WolfMother. Benton is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Shed Seven - Bully Boy. Okin Slavas has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
