Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Hunt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Griswald (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hunt's entrance music is Ace of Spades by Motorhead. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Griswald's choice of entrance music: The Grizz' Hype Song. 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?
