Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Oscar Boma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pahani Julmu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boma might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Andrew and Wada Blood - Irie. Pahani Julmu is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
