Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bradley Nowell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Edgar Allan Poe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nowell kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Doin Time. Poe is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Heartbeats. 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.
