Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jake VanVactor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joseph Wapner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think VanVactor might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Like a Pimp by David Banner. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
