Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Shelton Harrell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frankie Pep (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harrell comes to the cage accompanied by J. Cole - Blow Up. Pep has chosen Iron Theme Song (Here Comes The Boom - Nelly) 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.
