Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Calaway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Knox (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Calaway kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is R.I.P.. Knox has chosen Malukah & Wolfgang - The Dragonborn Comes as his entrance music. Mark Calaway has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
