Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Booker McQuade (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mick Gerrard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McQuade might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eyes of a Ranger. Mick Gerrard has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Booker McQuade's chin.
