Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between AJ Wilder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doo Doo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wilder's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Talkin' Da Hardest. 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?
