Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gregory Bennington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pat Hughes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bennington might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Machine Head. Hughes has chosen Walk with me in hell 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.
