Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Leland Palmer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nick Faldo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Palmer comes into the arena with Annihilator - Fun Palace blaring out of the sound system. Faldo has chosen Paparazzi Pone - Man Down as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
