Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jeremy Tonal (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Doug Marshall (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tonal comes to the cage accompanied by Mustasch - I hunt alone. Marshall has chosen Rotten Apple -- Alice in Chains 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.
