Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Doug Harvey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tommi Tummutti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Harvey comes to the cage accompanied by Bitches Brew. Tummutti has chosen Tiamat - Cain 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?
