Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Don Joe (ranked 2331 p4p, 41 weight class) and Brooklyn Brawler (ranked 1874 p4p, 34 weight class). Joe's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Johnny Cash - Big Iron. Brawler has chosen Beastie Boys- No Sleep till Brooklyn as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
