Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Reggie Sanders (ranked 2455 p4p, 2737 weight class) and Pedro Pacheco (ranked 238 p4p, 268 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sanders might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to “Hands On”. Pacheco has chosen Dirty Harry (Live) as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Reggie Sanders has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
