Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Billy Blank (ranked 78 p4p, 125 weight class) and Jimmy Granite (ranked 12 p4p, 23 weight class). Granite has chosen Jungle as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Billy Blank has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
