Main event

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dudley Dawson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jake Storms (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon!

Storms has chosen Stratovarius - Stratofortress as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jake Storms has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
