Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Nick Foles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fidel Duberry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Duberry is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ween - Cover it with Gas and Set It On Fire. 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.
