Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Radu Vrabiuta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bumble Bman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Vrabiuta might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Born to Be Wild. Bman has chosen Why can't we be friends? as his entrance music.
