Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Wade Stoker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Garfunkel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stoker's entrance music is Get Stoker. A fine choice. Garfunkel has chosen Haifisch as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Frank Garfunkel has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
