Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Winston (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jim Janos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Winston kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is This Life by Curtis Stigers & The Forest Rangers. Janos has chosen Predator Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
