Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Steve Foxx (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Woods Phoenix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Foxx's entrance music is Eye of the tiger. A fine choice. Phoenix has chosen Frontline - Pillar as his entrance music. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
