Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dan Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Driver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Driver has chosen Enter Sandman - by Metallica as his entrance music. 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.
