Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Lamont Hawkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shia LaBeouf (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hawkins comes to the cage accompanied by Wu-Tang Clan - C.R.E.A.M. The crowd seem to be enjoying LaBeouf's choice of entrance music: Riptide. 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.
