Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hunter Gatherer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dmitry Zerzhynsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gatherer comes to the cage accompanied by Down In A Hole - Alice In Chains. Zerzhynsky has chosen 2Pac-Under Pressure as his entrance music. 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.
