Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matthew Phoenix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Orndorf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Phoenix's entrance music is Bath Salt- ASVP Rocky, A$ap ANT, flatbush zombies. A fine choice. Orndorf has chosen Bodies - Drowning Pool as his entrance music. 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.
