Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Lance Storm (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ronald Mills (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mills has chosen FROM AUTUMN TO ASHES - Deth Kult Social Club as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
