Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Trevor Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg Graffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is ''Big Poppa'' by The Notorious B.I.G.. Graffin has chosen American Jesus by Bad Religion as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
