Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Craven Moorehead (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Floring (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Moorehead's entrance music is Me So Horny - 2 Live Crew. A fine choice. 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.
