Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Max Planck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier Jennings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Planck might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hiroshima Atomic Bomb Reenactment. The crowd seem to be enjoying Jennings's choice of entrance music: Ruff Ryders' Anthem. Xavier Jennings is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
