Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dani Woodward (ranked 5055 p4p, 5253 weight class) and Bartek Nowak (ranked 453 p4p, 460 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Nowak's choice of entrance music: Evanescence- Bring me to life Remix by M+ike. Dani Woodward looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
