Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Brice Howard (ranked 5107 p4p, 533 weight class) and Jermaine Whittaker (ranked 6850 p4p, 590 weight class). Howard kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Veterans Day. 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.
