Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between the natural Couture (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Russell Jackman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Couture's entrance music is Eminence Front. A fine choice. Jackman has chosen AC/DC - Shake Your Foundations as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
