Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Khoren Abraham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Artie Lange (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abraham comes into the arena with Derezzed - Daft Punk blaring out of the sound system. Lange has chosen Fire - Bruce Springsteen as his entrance music. 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.
