Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aron Patterson (ranked 1279 p4p, 1991 weight class) and Michael Harrison (ranked 157 p4p, 249 weight class). Harrison has chosen All of the Above 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.
