Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jamie Hyneman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adin Wrenton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wrenton has chosen Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
