Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jason Weber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Knuckles OToole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Weber's entrance music is We Are The Union - We Don't Care If Yesterday Burns, Stoke Up The Fire. A fine choice. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
