Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rod Munch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Fullington (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Munch's entrance music is Gabriel Gonzaga - Joke You Are a Bad. A fine choice. Fullington is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Enter Sandman. 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.
