Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Antoine Randall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roy Solomon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Randall comes to the cage accompanied by You Don't Know-50 Cent, Eminem. Solomon is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Face It-Phrase. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
