Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jacks Sole (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bob McGrady (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying McGrady's choice of entrance music: Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child. 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.
