Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chris Herzog (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damien Satan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Herzog might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Takida - Curly Sue. Satan has chosen Bullet For My Valentine - Hit The Floor 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.
