Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tony Lamotta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joe Montana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lamotta comes to the cage accompanied by Survivor - Eye of the Tiger. The crowd seem to be enjoying Montana's choice of entrance music: Glass Joe. 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.
