Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ernie Bezoink (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Drew Peacock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bezoink's entrance music is Fuel. A fine choice. Peacock comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Bring The Noise by Public Enemy & Anthrax kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
