It was time for The Tale of The Tape: Alexi had a 2 inch height advantage and an 18 pound weight advantage. In fact, Alexi was the heaviest Light-Weight and was dangerously close to being a heavyweight. Both men had a grappling style.
"9 Ways to Die" by Megadeth started to play and Alexi came out, looking very intimidating.
"15 Minutes of Fame" by Clawfinger started to play and David Wilson came out with Dan Howards! David looked calm and focused as Howards was talking to him as they entered The Pentagon. Julia Stevenson, "The Siren" started the intros.
