Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Blaze Hastings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Knox Yodsenklai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hastings might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Blazin Hazen - Avarage Homeboy.

Get up kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Cody Rogers told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
