Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Marc The Hammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alistair Overeem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Hammer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eminem-Till I Collapse. Overeem has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. I don't know about you partner, but I'm pumped for this one!
