Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kevin White (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bodie Long (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think White might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hunt You Down by Saliva. Long has chosen Mamma Said Knock you out as his entrance music. Bodie Long is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
