Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Michael Noonan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Billy Danze (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Noonan's entrance music is 3DD - Kryptonite. A fine choice. Danze has chosen Handle ur Bizness by the Mash Out Possee as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
