Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Burt Rhinehold (ranked 1703 p4p, 185 weight class) and Mark Strong (ranked 1123 p4p, 118 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rhinehold might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Cream. Strong is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Egypt Central - Kick Ass. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Maxim Bok (ranked 1072 p4p, 112 weight class) and Bane Dorrance (ranked 1349 p4p, 143 weight class). Bok's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Give It Revolution. 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?
