Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Henson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Leviticus Stone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Henson's entrance music is Die MF Die by Dope. A fine choice. 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.
