Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Roger Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vitus Shavnetski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Bone Crusher (Big Jones) . Shavnetski has chosen DMX - get it on the floor as his entrance music. 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.
