Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter The Machine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julio Villar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think The Machine might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Machine Head - Bush. Villar has chosen This is War as his entrance music. Julio Villar has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
