Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Doc Chillum (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Tosh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Chillum might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to High Hopes - Pink Floyd. Tosh has chosen Stepping Razor as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
