Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Mueller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Daley Bornstein (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mueller kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is RED. The crowd seem to be enjoying Bornstein's choice of entrance music: Men at Work - Land Down Under. 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?
