Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikey Havoc (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dexter Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Havoc might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ready Steady Go. Morgan has chosen Johnny Cash - Hurt as his entrance music. Rumors backstage are that the fighters have been paid to keep it standing but we know that would never happen in MMA!
