Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Angola Bob (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Piletich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bob comes into the arena with The Good, The Bad & The Ugly theme blaring out of the sound system. Piletich is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Manowar-King of Kings. 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.
