Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rocket Bob Frankels (ranked 74 p4p, 3 weight class) and Dmitri Zaitsev (ranked 645 p4p, 20 weight class). Frankels kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dawn....Summer Solstice... . 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?
