Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Molly Greywar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gordon Hood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Greywar's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool". These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
