Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shawn Antoski (ranked 174 p4p, 27 weight class) and Michael Cole (ranked 169 p4p, 26 weight class). Cole comes into a darkened arena with his song building. I Won't Back Down kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
