Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Cecil Peoples (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leroy Goins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Peoples might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Party People by Nelly Featuring Fergie. Goins has chosen Jay-Z - Tom Ford as his entrance music. Leroy Goins has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
