Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Erwin Hartmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Remulus Romus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hartmann kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out. 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?
