Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lucas LaVey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Earl Lee Swagger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). LaVey kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Deicide - Scars of the Crucifix. Swagger has chosen C.$krilla ft. Bizzle - Say it 2 my Face 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.
