Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Anaconda Anaconda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Phil DeBlunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anaconda's entrance music is Baby Got Back. A fine choice. DeBlunt has chosen Westside Connection - Bow Down 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.
