Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Taylor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bill Hickok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hickok has chosen Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH as his entrance music. 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.
