Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mizushima Muroi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Emilianenco Preuss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Muroi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Get Out - Circa Survive. 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?
