Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Bob Weave (ranked 5789 p4p, 510 weight class) and Augustine Tupper (ranked 3085 p4p, 167 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Weave might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wheeler Walker Jr - Sit On My Face. Bob Weave has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
