Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Method Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damian Drake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Man comes into the arena with Wu-Tang Clan-METHOD MAN blaring out of the sound system. Drake has chosen War is my Destiny as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
