Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Buster Cherry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Joost Van De Wolf Keizer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Cherry comes to the cage accompanied by Busters Back. Van De Wolf Keizer is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: MASTODON - BLOOD AND THUNDER. 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?
