Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Frank Ricard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mickey Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ricard kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Frank The Tank. Davis has chosen Deftones - Beware as his entrance music. 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.
