Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Miklo Velka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tanner Reach (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Velka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Delinquent Habits - Tres Delinquentes. Reach comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Never Gonna Give You Up kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
