Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Willie Nuxhall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brock Hughes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nuxhall might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Final Countdown. Hughes has chosen All that Remains-Not Alone 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.
