Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Overeem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jose Medrado (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Overeem kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shadows Fall - Still I Rise. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
