Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sean Ripgut (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damien Bullit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ripgut comes to the cage accompanied by Abominable Putridity - Throat Fisting Abortion. Bullit has chosen Enter Sandman as his entrance music. 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.
