Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hannah Montana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Danny Zuckor (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Montana comes to the cage accompanied by Hoedown Throwdown. The crowd seem to be enjoying Zuckor's choice of entrance music: Dropkick Murphys - "I'm Shipping Up to Boston". 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?
