Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John McGuirk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mad Raefon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Raefon's choice of entrance music: Riot - Three Days Grace. Mad Raefon struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.0lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. 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?
