Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Virgil Beck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Halo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Beck's entrance music is Cell Therapy by Goodie Mob. A fine choice. Halo has chosen Halo Theme Song as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Virgil Beck has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
