Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Butch Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Demian Rocha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Williams might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Sunshine of Your Love. Demian Rocha has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
