Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Damian Grabowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Castle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Grabowski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Roar. Castle has chosen Holy Wars...The Punishment Due as his entrance music. Frank Castle has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
