Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Frankie Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronnie Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Barnes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Black Eyed Peas - Imma Be. Wayne comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Something in the Way by Nirvana kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Ronnie Wayne told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
