Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bada Boom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dahl Haas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boom might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Here Comes the BOOM by: POD. Haas is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by donGURALesko - GIOVANNI DZIADZIA. Bada Boom could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Dahl Haas's chin.
