Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jim Crocker (ranked 7940 p4p, 742 weight class) and Frank Granger (ranked 7486 p4p, 728 weight class). Crocker's entrance music is Olivia Newton-John - Physical. A fine choice. Granger is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Primal Concrete Sledge. 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.
