Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John James (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chico Escuela (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). James comes to the ring accompanied by Rocky Balboa. Escuela is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Disco Inferno- 50 Cent . 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.
