Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carl Mills (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franz Kafka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mills comes to the cage accompanied by LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem. Kafka has chosen Haters Gonna Hate as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys are coming into the fight with injuries so let's see if that has a bearing on the fight. 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?
