Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between King Marvin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mike Marsden (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marvin kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is King of Kings by Motorhead. 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?
