Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mitch McDonald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Miller's entrance music is Bruce Springsteen - Born In The USA. A fine choice. McDonald comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sounds of Silence kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Miller is coming into this fight with a significant injury, which will no doubt have an effect on his cardio. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
