Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Seamus O Brien (ranked 555 p4p, 975 weight class) and Adrian Rose (ranked 71 p4p, 130 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think O Brien might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pantera - The Great Southern Trendkill. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
