Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Rexar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David McCarthy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rexar might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Big Shit Poppin'. McCarthy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Busta Rhymes - We Made It ft. Linkin Park. David McCarthy has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
