Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dan McManus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Villa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McManus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Disturbed-Prayer. Villa has chosen Faint as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Lee Villa told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
