Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Antoine Wallace (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heath Ledger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wallace's entrance music is Pray by Jay-Z feat. Rob Dougan. A fine choice. Ledger has chosen Seven Nation Army as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
