Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Urpo Muilu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Titan Carver (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muilu's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, he's going the distance. Carver has chosen UGK - Touched as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
