Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Victor Creed (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Evander Holyshit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Holyshit is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Lil Wayne- I feel like dying. 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.
