Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Numero Cero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Dettman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cero's entrance music is Hate Me Now - Nas. A fine choice. Dettman is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Nazareth - Hair of the Dog. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
