Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mark Calaway (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Merrick Kane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

The crowd seem to be enjoying Kane's choice of entrance music: Blood Sugar - Pendulum. Mark Calaway has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
