Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Carmen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roger Jouban (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Carmen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sinéad O'Connor - The Foggy Dew. 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?
