Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Giuseppe Maldini (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heinz Doofenshmirtz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Maldini comes to the cage accompanied by Just one cornetto. Doofenshmirtz is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Feuer Frei -by- Rammstein. 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?
