Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aalio Paalio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Milo Kroton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Paalio's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Motörhead - Iron Fist. Kroton has chosen Mastodon - Blood and Thunder as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
