Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mr Magenta (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tamias Poochyena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Poochyena's choice of entrance music: This Life - Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers. 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?
