Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arto Bambang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eddie Brock (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bambang might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Suicidal Tendencies - Nobody Hears. Brock has chosen Guns and Roses - Reckless Life as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
