Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike Carter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Andreas Bastos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Carter might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to La Roux - In For The Kill. Bastos comes into a darkened arena with his song building. D-Nox & Beckers - One Shot (Flame On Fire Remix) kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Mike Carter has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
