Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gabe Christianson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Christianson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Like a Boss. Mercer has chosen Kid CuDi - Wylin Cuz I'm Young 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?
