Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Robb Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Craig Thomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stark might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Down With The Sickness. Thomas has chosen Judas Priest - Painkiller as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
