Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Amadeus Astra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George Whissell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Astra might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Once in a Lifetime. Whissell has chosen Rose Of Sharon as his entrance music. Amadeus Astra has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
