Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jaruis Jerome (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Justin Sontag (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jerome's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ILL BILL ft. IMMORTAL TECHNIQUE & MAX CAVALERA - "War Is My Destiny". The crowd seem to be enjoying Sontag's choice of entrance music: Audioslave-like a stone. 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.
