Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joey Rodinerio Bravo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bravo might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Damian Marley - Confrontation. Black has chosen Disturbed - Indestructible as his entrance music. Matt Black will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
