Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Webb (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Davey Newsome (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Webb might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hells Bells by AC/DC. Newsome is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hurt. Jimmy Webb could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Davey Newsome's chin.
