Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bret Hart (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Max Maynard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hart's entrance music is Bang Your Head. A fine choice. Maynard has chosen Roy Jones - Can't Be Stopped as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. This should be a great matchup!
