Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ronny Sizemore (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Logan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sizemore kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Who Told You? by Reprazent. Logan has chosen Devildriver - Devils Son as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
