Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eagle Loveladdy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lock Bresnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Loveladdy's entrance music is Snoop Lion - Here Comes The King!. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bresnar's choice of entrance music: ABOVE THE LAW - murder rap. 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.
