Main event

Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Percival Butcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mark Liddell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liddell has chosen DMX Intro as his entrance music. Liddell has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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.
