Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Levi Zimmerman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuudai Ryuu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zimmerman comes to the cage accompanied by A Country Boy Can Survive. Ryuu is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: High on Fire - Bastard Samurai. 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?
