Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sven Hunkstrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Franklin Bitter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunkstrom kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Stuck In The Middle With You. 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?
