Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buck Nasty (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Ives (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nasty comes into the arena with Dr. Dre- Kush blaring out of the sound system. Ives has chosen Fort Minor - Remember the Name 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.
