Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between boo moo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andy Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think moo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Miles Davis - bye bye blackbird. Stone has chosen I stand alone - Godsmack as his entrance music. boo moo has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
