Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Digital (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Fitch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Digital's entrance music is Wu-Tang Clan - Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuthing Ta F'Wit . A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Fitch's choice of entrance music: Till I Collapse- Eminem. Bobby Digital could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jon Fitch's chin.
