Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kupke De Vries (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Punani (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Vries kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Decibel Ending!. 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?
