Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Trent Pope (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Autumn Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pope might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It . Hunter has chosen Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys as his entrance music. Trent Pope could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Autumn Hunter's chin.
