Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gerald Hacker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Knockyo Assout (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hacker's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, We Takin Over. Assout is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Mamma Said Knock You Out. 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?
