Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ian MacAiken (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Toney Lou (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). MacAiken comes into the arena with Dropkick Myrphy's / Rose Tattoo blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Lou's choice of entrance music: Tech N9ne - Caribou Lou. 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?
