Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul McCartney (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Vincent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vincent has chosen Master of Puppets as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
