Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bartly Gorman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Mayhem (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gorman's entrance music is The Hours - Ali in the jungle. A fine choice. Mayhem has chosen Bullet With A Name by Nonpoint as his entrance music. 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.
