Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Smith Wesson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Javier Gattuso (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Wesson's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Annie Get Your Gun. Gattuso has chosen DMX - X Gonna Give It To Ya as his entrance music. 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?
