Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Brett Hartlock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jozef Beast (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hartlock might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Shoot To Thrill by AC/DC. Jozef Beast has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
