Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bret Hill (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Holt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hill might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wanted Dead Or Alive by Bon Jovi. Holt has chosen All Along the Watchtower - Bear McCreary as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
