Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Harry Mitchell (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jonny Bones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mitchell's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Yardbirds - Heart Full of Soul. 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?
