Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gorge Junior (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Oquendo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Junior might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kid Sensation - The Way I Swing. Jose Oquendo 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!
