Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Breech (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Chrismer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Breech might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to "Flight of the Bumble-bee" by Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Chrismer is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Nine Inch Nails - "The Day The World Went Away". Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
