Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wahoo McDaniel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nicky Salita (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McDaniel might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to War Dance. Salita is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lose Yourself by Eminem. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
