Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Michael Ehrmantraut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Keke Pummel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ehrmantraut might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to non existent. The crowd seem to be enjoying Pummel's choice of entrance music: renegades. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
