Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eli Crowe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tolo Seia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Crowe comes to the cage accompanied by Angry Johnny & The Killbillies - Kill Again. Seia has chosen Limp Bizkit - Thieves 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.
