Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rodney Garcia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Charles McGuire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McGuire has chosen Black Stone Cherry - White Trash Millionaire 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?
