Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Billy D (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brad Rood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think D might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Get Back. Rood has chosen Enter Sandman, by Metallica as his entrance music. The key to victory for Billy D has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
