Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between High Voltage (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raylan Givens (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Voltage might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to One 24. Givens has chosen When The Wild Wind Blows as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
