Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jason Hightower (ranked 162 p4p, 403 weight class) and Thom Tharrier (ranked 8 p4p, 22 weight class). Hightower kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Power. 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?
