Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Syd Barret (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Steve Macgyver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barret kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wild Boys - Duran Duran. 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?
