Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Ken Womack (ranked 204 p4p, 22 weight class) and Lance Legstrong (ranked 829 p4p, 102 weight class). Womack 's entrance music is TUSK. A fine choice. Legstrong is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Carbon Based Lifeforms - Hydroponic Garden. Lance Legstrong told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
