Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeff Kennedy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gen Anduw (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kennedy kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Dirty Cash By Dizee Rascal. 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.
