Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Jay Wilkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Goins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wilkins might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Champ is Here. Goins has chosen 50 Cent- God Gave me style as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Leroy Goins has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
