Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sonny Boy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gilbert Schilt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Boy might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Those Dancin Days - Run Run. Schilt has chosen Broodje Bakpao - New kids on the block as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Gilbert Schilt told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
