Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eddie Dean (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hades Underworld (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dean might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - Till I Collapse. Underworld has chosen Mr. Torture as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Eddie Dean had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
