Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Paul Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darra Late (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams comes to the cage accompanied by All the Above- Maino ft. T-Pain. Late is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Gangstarr - Full Clip. 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.
