Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jesse Custer (ranked 240 p4p, 345 weight class) and Bruce Vanorden (ranked 36 p4p, 53 weight class). Custer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Zebrahead - Falling Apart. The crowd seem to be enjoying Vanorden's choice of entrance music: Unstoppable . Jesse Custer has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
