Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Remi Highjack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Divock Origi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Highjack comes into the arena with The Outsider - A Perfect Circle blaring out of the sound system. Origi has chosen Run this town tonight as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
