Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Henry Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tad Ghostal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Morgan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to No Easy Way Out. Ghostal has chosen Good King Wenceslas as his entrance music.
