Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Kicasstis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Laxa Tiv (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tiv comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Animal I have become - Three Days Grace kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Kicasstis has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Laxa Tiv has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
