Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kennedy Michaels (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tim Augustine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Michaels comes to the cage accompanied by Folsom Prison Blues cover by Everlast. The crowd seem to be enjoying Augustine's choice of entrance music: The Stooges - I Wanna Be Your Dog. 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.
