Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Damian Strong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael McCulloch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Strong's entrance music is R.I.P. A fine choice. McCulloch is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Drowning Pool - Bodies. 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.
