Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Halperin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Corey Washington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Halperin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I am going to kill you (with the help of Muno). Washington has chosen Chamillionaire-Denzel Washington as his entrance music. The key to victory for Daniel Halperin has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
