Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stringer Bell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Duane Lee Chapman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chapman has chosen Gonna Fly Now by Bill Conti as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
