Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pedro Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Markus Dublin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rodriguez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Rage Against The Machine - Killing in the Name. 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?
