Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Herrick Goldman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Quartz Henkeln (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Goldman might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Gamma Ray - Blood Religion . Henkeln has chosen Smislovie Gallyucinacii - Vechno Molodoy as his entrance music. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
