Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Haw Thorn (ranked 119 p4p, 374 weight class) and Polish Power (ranked 11 p4p, 21 weight class). Thorn kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is For Heavy Metal we will die!. Power has chosen Xanadu by Ummet Ozcan as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters will be looking to make this an exciting fight for the fans, I'm sure!
