Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Death Row (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Liha Pulla (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Row comes to the cage accompanied by Who Da Champion. Pulla is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Arvo Pärt - De Profundis. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fresh Crimson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jackson's entrance music is Method Man - Bring da Pain. A fine choice. 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?
