Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mario Matiss (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Delinquent (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Matiss's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Ennio Morricone - The Ecstasy of Gold. Delinquent is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: On The Warpath. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
