Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kaban Demidov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hank Johnstone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Demidov comes to the cage accompanied by Florence + The Machine - Kiss With A Fist. Johnstone comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Humpin around, Bobby Brown kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
