Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Leduc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cannondale Trail (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Leduc might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Trivium-Through Blood And Dirt And Bone. Trail has chosen The Norris song as his entrance music. 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.

Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lexington Snape (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hector Hernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Snape might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to DJ Tiësto - Carmina Burana: Remixed. Hector Hernandez has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
