Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randy Orton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Avalon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Orton comes to the ring accompanied by No Easy Way Out. Avalon comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Harder Better Faster - Daft Punk kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
