Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sabin Figaro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mirko Bojanski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Figaro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prospect - Warrior. Bojanski has chosen Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) as his entrance music. Mirko Bojanski has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
