Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lothar Dornier (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Pounder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dornier kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Prussian March "Frei Weg". 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?
