Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Everett Dante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sean Combs (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Dante might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Dont Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult. Combs has chosen All About The Benjamins as his entrance music. Everett Dante had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.4lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. Both fighters really staring eachother down here, as Sean Combs enters the cage!
