Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Derek James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Sullivan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fade To Black. Sullivan is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Electric Worry. 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?
