Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yushin Okami (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barnes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. Okami has chosen EMF - Unbelieveble as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the ring.
