Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Cristian Tavares (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lil Wayne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Tavares might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Karter comes out rocking #1 headband. Wayne has chosen Back Up In Yo Ass With The Resurrection as his entrance music. Lil 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!
