Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Roy Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rob Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunter kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Used - The Taste Of Ink. Gracie has chosen Uncle Murda- Summertime shootouts 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.
