Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Potatos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonathan Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Potatos might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Just Another Victim by Helmet&House of Pain. The crowd seem to be enjoying Williams's choice of entrance music: Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire. 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.
