Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between James Kirk (ranked 1934 p4p, 2247 weight class) and Alfonz Novak (ranked 215 p4p, 253 weight class). Kirk's entrance music is my fighting ability is alot like my acting. A fine choice. Novak has chosen A Tout Le Monde - Megadeth as his entrance music. Alfonz Novak 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!
