Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Eliza Marie II (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simon Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marie II's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, You´re the voice - John Farnham. Williams has chosen UFC: Closer to the Edge (Jared Leto) 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?
