Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Duran (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Peter Senerchia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duran might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Led Zeppelin - Kashmir. Senerchia has chosen If You Dare 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.
