Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Leandro Alves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Spark Plug (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Alves might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Damian Marley - Welcome To Jamrock. Plug has chosen TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me as his entrance music. Leandro Alves has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
