Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sammy Spishak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robin Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Spishak's entrance music is Sleeping with Sirens. A fine choice. Smith has chosen Bulls On Parade - Rage Against The Machine as his entrance music.

I thought that lunatic was in prison!?
