Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Edgar Hoover (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Mayhem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hoover might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ecstasy of Gold. Mayhem has chosen Bullet With A Name by Nonpoint as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
