Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Tim Slater (ranked 2822 p4p, 251 weight class) and André 3000 (ranked 2841 p4p, 252 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Slater might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Chad VanGaalen - Blonde Hash. 3000 has chosen So Fresh N So Clean as his entrance music. André 3000 will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
