Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Russell Wallace (ranked 2181 p4p, 223 weight class) and Ranky Scorpion (ranked 2077 p4p, 213 weight class). Wallace kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dust in the Wind. 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.
