Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Zach Brooks (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Vega (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brooks might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Aqua Teen Hunger Force theme song. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
