Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ameen Robertson (ranked 906 p4p, 1100 weight class) and Devin Ecker (ranked 137 p4p, 169 weight class). Robertson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Regulate - Nate Dogg & Warren G. Ecker has chosen Where The Hood At? as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Devin Ecker has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
