Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zapp Brannigan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fresh Crimson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brannigan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jackyl -- The Lumberjack. 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.
