Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Juan Christiano (ranked 566 p4p, 947 weight class) and Logan Barrengarry (ranked 71 p4p, 138 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Christiano might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jesus Built My Hotrod. Barrengarry is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by The Young Crazed Peeling by The Distillers. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
