Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andy Bighouse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Thomas Morgan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bighouse's entrance music is Isontalon Antti ja Rannanjärvi. A fine choice. Morgan has chosen Change or Die - Papa Roach 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?
