Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Maximus DeMarcus Meridius (ranked 3823 p4p, 5907 weight class) and Heinrich Von Slackenfuchs (ranked 487 p4p, 680 weight class). Von Slackenfuchs has chosen Blümchen - Nur geträumt 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?
