Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jinder Mahal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mega Mindy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mahal's entrance music is Sick Puppies - You're Going Down. A fine choice. Mindy is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: I'M T.N.T. 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.
