Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lachlan Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tane Te Rauparaha (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Anderson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to ready to Roll, The Black Dahlias. Te Rauparaha has chosen Get Ready - Concord Dawn ft Scribe as his entrance music. Tane Te Rauparaha has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
