Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kane Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Victorio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Williams comes into the arena with Celebration by Kool and the Gang blaring out of the sound system. The crowd seem to be enjoying Victorio's choice of entrance music: Massive Attack - Angel. 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.
