Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Grant VanWinkle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dylan Krasowsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think VanWinkle might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to AC/DC - For Those About To Rock. Krasowsky has chosen Under the Knife as his entrance music. The key to victory for Grant VanWinkle has got to be keeping the fight on the feet.
