Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Manuel Calavera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wes Miles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Calavera's entrance music is Swanky Maximino. A fine choice. Miles has chosen Kings of Leon - Closer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Wes Miles has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
