Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mike Black (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Digger Mcgee (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Black might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Elton John - Rocket Man. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mcgee's choice of entrance music: Carmina Burana. 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.
