Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Craig Charyak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Check Mong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Charyak comes to the cage accompanied by Eminem-Won't Back Down. The crowd seem to be enjoying Mong's choice of entrance music: I ain't never scared. 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.
