Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between John L Sullivan IV (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ground Pound (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sullivan IV's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Seven Deadly Sins. Ground Pound told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
