Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andre Van der Laan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Ford (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Van der Laan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eazy-E ft. Tupac, The Game - How We Do. Ford has chosen Drop the World as his entrance music. Ryan Ford 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!
