Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gustavo Ramirez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Todd Haskins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Ramirez might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to White Wizzard - Gates Of Gehenna. Haskins has chosen Kid Rock - Bawitdaba 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.
