Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jojo Dresden (ranked 3277 p4p, 3722 weight class) and Domingo Don Dominguez (ranked 163 p4p, 184 weight class). Dresden kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Break Stuff/ Limp Bizkit. 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.
