Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seung-Jin Bailey (ranked 1311 p4p, 188 weight class) and Rage Parade (ranked 1384 p4p, 197 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bailey might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Zombie Juice - Lava. Parade has chosen I KILL Cause I'm Hungry as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
