Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Oscar Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hanson White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hernandez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cocteau Twins - Song to the Siren. White is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: AC/DC - Up To My Neck In You. Hanson White has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
