Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Hardwick (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Julian Casablancas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hardwick comes to the cage accompanied by Elephant Man - Pon Di River. Casablancas is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Gers Pardoel - Bagagedrager ft. Sef . 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.
