Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hezekiah Stoltfus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Crappler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stoltfus kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Chase. 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.
