Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Justus Sheehan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rodney Ang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sheehan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Best Day Ever. Ang has chosen Long Way To The Top as his entrance music. Rodney Ang told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
