Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harrison Duke (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gregorio San Pedro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Duke might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Mein Land!. San Pedro has chosen Lucky Me nam-nam - Kanto Boys 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.
