Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Wyatt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cyril Yamoth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Wyatt might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ''Broken Out In Love''. Yamoth is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter Sandman - Metallica. John Wyatt has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
