Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Emmanuel Bredenberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Autumn Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bredenberg might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Heja Bamse. Hunter is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys. Emmanuel Bredenberg has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
