Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brock Lesnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ara Vahaber (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vahaber has chosen Dr.Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Still Dre as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Brock Lesnar has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
