Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Monte Christo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Christo is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Walk this way - Run DMC & Aerosmith. 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.
