Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stanly Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Pierno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Williams might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kenny Loggins - I'm free. Pierno has chosen Umberto Tozzi - Gloria as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
