Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Javier Dos Santos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pee Niss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dos Santos's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Rage Against the Machine - Killing in the Name . Niss has chosen I Wish I Was Queer So I Could Get Chicks by Bloodhound Gang as his entrance music. Pee Niss 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!
