Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Rian Madison (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Miller (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Madison comes to the cage accompanied by Smut Peddlers - If You're Gonna Be Dumb. Miller has chosen ABBA - Dancing Queen as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
