Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Creed Bratton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Optimus Prime (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bratton comes into the arena with The Best Of Creed blaring out of the sound system. Prime has chosen Metalingus by Alter Bridge as his entrance music. 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.
