Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gary McField (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Wagner Nascimento (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think McField might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Foo Fighters - My Hero. Nascimento has chosen I N F E R N O as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
