Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Abe Eaton (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jorg Stradzverg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Eaton kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Unforgiven by Apocalyptica . 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?
