Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mike McCord (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Armando Salazar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McCord's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Violate You"- Chino Xl. Salazar comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Blue Flowers kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
