Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Peter Just (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Trent Severn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Just might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Intriguing Possibilities- Trent Reznor. Severn has chosen White Zombie - Electric Head: The Extasy (Pt 2) as his entrance music. 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.
