Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Craig Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Rick Ashton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Anderson might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The High Road. Ashton has chosen Lynyrd Skynyrd - Simple Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Craig Anderson had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
