Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Hassan i Sabbah (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Crump (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sabbah might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to War Dogs. Crump has chosen ac/dc- Higheway to Hell as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Hassan i Sabbah has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
