Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Chimpo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Easton Bauer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chimpo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is On The Darkside. 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.
