Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Vvierme Llamer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chance Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Llamer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Prodigy - Spitfire. Johnson has chosen Hurt - Johnny Cash as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
