Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Nemanja Vidic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and BJ Penn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vidic kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Kasabian - Club Foot. 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?
