Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bernie McLeod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lupe Fiasco (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McLeod might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Flower of Scotland. Fiasco has chosen Lupe Back as his entrance music. I'm sure you'll be fascinated to know that I was talking to some pointless Z list celebrity before the fight and he thought that Lupe Fiasco was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
