Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Micky Success (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Blake Ritter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Success might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to OceanLab - Miracle (Above & Beyond Club Mix). Ritter has chosen Enter Sandman as his entrance music. Micky Success has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
