Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between George Chavalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Borden Chantry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chantry has chosen RATM - Killing in the Name Of as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Borden Chantry told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
