Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tyrel Sackett (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Azamat Bagatov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sackett might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Highway to Hell. Bagatov has chosen Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers - John The Revelator as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
