Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bada Bing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jerome Powers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bing might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Metallica - All Nightmare Long. Powers has chosen We Run This - Missy Elliot as his entrance music. Jerome Powers has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Bada Bing's chin.
