Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Grey Worm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Mars (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Worm's entrance music is Der Kaptain. A fine choice.

Paul Mars told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
