Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antonio Ellison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Monty Claff III (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ellison's entrance music is im bad. A fine choice. Claff III has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Antonio Ellison has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
