Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Corporate Slave (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Calvin Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson has chosen The Longest Day by Iron Maiden 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.
