Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jack Straus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gundar Thorsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Straus comes into the arena with Ari Gold - Let's Hug It Out, BITCH blaring out of the sound system. Thorsen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Thunder struck- ACDC 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.
