Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andre Van der Laan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stringer Bell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Van der Laan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eazy-E ft. Tupac, The Game - How We Do. 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.
