Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Junior Vilson (ranked 342 p4p, 42 weight class) and Raphaele Heisenberg (ranked 114 p4p, 15 weight class). Vilson comes into the arena with Haiti Voodoo Music blaring out of the sound system. Heisenberg has chosen For Heavy Metal we will die! as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
