Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tristin Shonuck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darius Badolato (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shonuck's entrance music is Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down. A fine choice. Badolato has chosen Nneka - Heartbeat 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.
