Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vincent Mars (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ben Dobson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mars kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Solaar Pleure by Solaar. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
