Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michel Overmars (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lenny Cole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Overmars kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Union Underground - Across The Nation. 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.
