Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Nate Brennan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ray Lewis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lewis comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Remedy kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Nate Brennan looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
