Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jarrod Beard (ranked 206 p4p, 536 weight class) and Fred Young (ranked 16 p4p, 37 weight class). Beard's entrance music is Ladies Love Country Boys - Trace Adkins. A fine choice. Young has chosen Real Ganja Man 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.
