- SB Nation's MMA For Real gets the scoop on the announcement of Rodney Wallace vs. Jared Hamman.
This is a really nice fight between two guys who really need a win in the promotion to prove that they can hang at this level. Wallace obviously had the better result in his first outing but Hamman shouldn't be taken lightly, he's a handful for anyone to have to deal with and desperation can make a man better.
