Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Creaturos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Matt Still (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Creaturos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Riverside - O2 Panic Room. Still has chosen Laveerre - Kaasupää as his entrance music. Matt Still has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
