Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cam Newton (ranked 2669 p4p, 375 weight class) and Ed Landry (ranked 2884 p4p, 402 weight class). Newton's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Superman. Landry has chosen Ride Wit Me - Nelly as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Cam Newton could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Ed Landry's chin.
