Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lord Vader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Xtreme Mma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vader kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Same Ol' Road. Mma has chosen I Wont Back 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.
