Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Donovan Douglas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cyzarine Royalty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Douglas's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, "Assassins" by Insane Clown Posse. Royalty has chosen For Those About To Rock as his entrance music. 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?
