Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alessio Legionarius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edwin Langeveld (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Legionarius might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Drowning Pool - Let the bodies hit the floor. Langeveld has chosen Chop Suey! as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
