Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Devin Jaqquard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jet Hemi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jaqquard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Rebirthing-Skillet. Hemi has chosen Satyricon - Fuel For Hatred as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Devin Jaqquard has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
