Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Hayes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Carter Potter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hayes might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Blood of Cuchulainn - Mychael & Jeff Danna. Potter has chosen THE LION SLEEPS TONIGHT 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.
