Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between DJ Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Scofield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQcd_i5KjCw. Scofield has chosen Move On as his entrance music. Michael Scofield has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
