Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hector Batista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stevie Franchise (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Batista's entrance music is Human Race. A fine choice. Franchise has chosen Microphone Fiend- Rage Against the Machine as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
