Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jyrska Velmu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yang Tao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Velmu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Doctor Doctor by UFO. Tao is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting. Yang Tao has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
