Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Perseus Danae (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy Krueger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Danae might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Labyrinth - Thunder. Krueger has chosen Freddy's Coming For You 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.
