Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Walt Nightman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Lawson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nightman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Night Man. Lawson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Personality Crisis. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
