Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Mortis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nigel The Malkind (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mortis comes to the cage accompanied by Crush 'em by Megadeth. The Malkind has chosen Reckoner as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
