Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Shane Flint (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roberto Federici (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Flint might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to A Few More Rednecks. Federici has chosen Con Te Partiro 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.
