Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between First Fist (ranked 989 p4p, 1620 weight class) and Patrick Bateman (ranked 151 p4p, 236 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Both these fighters are unbeaten, so somebody's 0 has got to go!First Fist has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
