Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Richard Head (ranked 24180 p4p, 4933 weight class) and Justin Edwards (ranked 327 p4p, 478 weight class). Edwards has chosen "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr. as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
