Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Money Montell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Storm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Montell might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to I Get Money. Storm has chosen AC/DC - Thunderstruck as his entrance music. Johnny Storm has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
