Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Glen Quagmire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rafael Martinez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Quagmire's entrance music is Die MotherFucker Die. A fine choice. Martinez has chosen Juicy as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
