Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Butter Ball (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Austin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Austin's choice of entrance music: Who's your Daddy by Mook N Fair. 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.
