Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Wade Walker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Unai Arana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Walker might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to wanted dead or alive. Arana has chosen Jesus was a terrorist 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 Unai Arana was going to win. Let's see if he was right.
