Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mikael Sadman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg VanWinkle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sadman comes into the arena with Metal is the Law - Massacration blaring out of the sound system. VanWinkle has chosen Motorhead - Smiling Like A Killer as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
