Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ray Fernandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Carwin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fernandez kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pantera "Walk". 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?
