Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Perry Charcobeau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daniel Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Charcobeau's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fortunate Son. Daniel Brown told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
