Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Corey Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and David Kyle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson's entrance music is St. Elmo's Fire. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kyle's choice of entrance music: Big Booty Woman. David Kyle told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
