Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Da Cougar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Vicksone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cougar kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Those Damn Blue Collar Tweekers. Vicksone is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: m.o.v.e - DOGFIGHT. 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.
