Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chuck Shamrock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Smith's entrance music is Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl feat. Georgi Kay - In My Mind. A fine choice. Shamrock has chosen Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue 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.
