Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stanly Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Williams might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kenny Loggins - I'm free. Bobby Shamrock has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
