Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juan David Franco (ranked 1259 p4p, 1170 weight class) and Cavalho Atunes (ranked 159 p4p, 150 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Franco might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Bullet For My Valentine- Tears Don't Fall. Atunes has chosen Makeba as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd.
