Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Emilio Bustamante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gray Hunter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunter is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Young Jeezy - Lose My Mind. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
