Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between VJ Mithani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Juan Maxwell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mithani's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Forever - Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem. Maxwell has chosen Basket Case as his entrance music. 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?
