Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Griswald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Remy Valentine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griswald kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genuis that is If You Want Blood (You Got It). Valentine has chosen Megadeth-Kill the King as his entrance music. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
