Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between ZaDarius Haden (ranked 1570 p4p, 2530 weight class) and Random Lik (ranked 191 p4p, 271 weight class). Haden's entrance music is Motörhead - Orgasmatron. A fine choice. 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?
