Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Carter Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Smith (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enter Sandman by Metallica. 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.
