Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pope Cozad (ranked 2255 p4p, 3188 weight class) and Jim Lingfield (ranked 290 p4p, 406 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cozad might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Spirit In The Sky- Norman Greenbaum. Pope Cozad has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
