Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Ol Bastard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andre Verona (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bastard comes to the cage accompanied by Ol' Dirty Bastard - Brooklyn Zoo. Verona has chosen Dawn Patrol by The Eliminators as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.

I think Gracie might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wu-Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
