Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Medici (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kyle Jon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Medici kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is "Aerials" by System of a Down. Jon is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Indestructible. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
