Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyler Houser (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xavier Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Houser comes into the arena with Hackensaw Boys-Keep it simple blaring out of the sound system. Gracie has chosen Powerman 5000 - Drop The Bombshell 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.
