Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Steinburg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guan Yu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Steinburg comes to the cage accompanied by Under and Over It - Five Finger Death Punch. Yu has chosen Tale of Three Brothers as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
