Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zeta Knox (ranked 648 p4p, 963 weight class) and Johan Joestar (ranked 43 p4p, 40 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Knox might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Five Finger Death Punch | Bad Company . Joestar has chosen Coda - Bloody Stream as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Johan Joestar has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
