Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bryant Helix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lewis Creed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Helix might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Impending Doom - Anything Goes. Creed has chosen Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart as his entrance music. Lewis Creed is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
