Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Alan Blaver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Blaver might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC's Hells Bells. James has chosen We Want The Funk by George Clinton & the P-Funk Allstars as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
