Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pan Goatboy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Goatboy comes into the arena with Bill Hicks - Goat boy blaring out of the sound system. Miller has chosen skrillyx 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.
