Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harold Fintch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Shrek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fintch might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to A Nation Acrobat. The crowd seem to be enjoying Shrek's choice of entrance music: Here Comes The Pain. Frank Shrek struggled to make weight for this fight. He only made it down to 266.1lbs at the first attempt and had to take the additional two hours to make the official bout weight. Let's see how much it's taken out of him. Frank Shrek has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
