Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hugh G Rection (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Harry Winston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rection comes to the cage accompanied by Symphony of Destruction by Megadeth. Winston has chosen This Life by Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers as his entrance music. 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.
