Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Murfum Orcarm (ranked 3380 p4p, 3521 weight class) and Roddy Banner (ranked 421 p4p, 432 weight class). Banner has chosen BILMURI - LORDFARQUADZILLA 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?
