Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dee Pain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cain Slyker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pain might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - If you want Blood (You've got it). Slyker has chosen It's Amazing by Kanye West 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.
