Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Dirk Hasselhoff (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fumando Sanchez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hasselhoff comes to the cage accompanied by Love Gun. Sanchez has chosen "Shake Da Spot" King T as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
