Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamie Gillis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Torsten Stalhandske (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Gillis might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Marvin Gaye - Let's Get It On. Stalhandske has chosen Jean Sibelius - Finlandia as his entrance music. Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
