Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ozbe Brezovec (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and George White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Brezovec might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Where is my mind?. White has chosen Wees Niet Bang (Paz rmx) 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!
