Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vadim Finkle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergeant Peppers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Finkle comes to the cage accompanied by NWO. Peppers has chosen Lip Gloss and Black--as made famous by Atreyu 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.
