Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Liam Lee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Percy Schmeiser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lee might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rancid - Dead Bodies. Schmeiser has chosen David vs Monsanto as his entrance music. Liam Lee has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
