Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jovon Chambers (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Varg Veide (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chambers comes to the cage accompanied by Carmen Gray-Gates of Loneliness. Veide is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Bachman-Turner Overdrive - Taking Care of Business. 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.
