Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Piotr Nawrocki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Con Waterson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nawrocki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kanye West - Amazing. Waterson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Oasis - Roll With It. Con Waterson has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
