Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Frederic Bastiat (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bastiat might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Superstition. Anderson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Where the hood at ?. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Jason Anderson was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
