Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tj Cummings (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dustin Martin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Cummings might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Misfits - Die Die My Darling . The crowd seem to be enjoying Martin's choice of entrance music: Smells like Teen Spirit . 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.
