Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Hug (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Schrank (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hug kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Wand in his prime: Eat knees bitch!. 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.
