Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hank Johnstone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Austin Powers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnstone kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Humpin around, Bobby Brown. 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.
