Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Deacon Frost (ranked 511 p4p, 22 weight class) and Lucas Marston (ranked 650 p4p, 17 weight class). Marston has chosen Bring it on motherfucker 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?
