Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Danny Danger (ranked 26 p4p, 25 weight class) and Randy Randleman (ranked 4 p4p, 3 weight class). Danger comes to the cage accompanied by Wham! - Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go. Randleman is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bloodhound Gang - Bad Touch. 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?
