Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arthur Vengrio (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karl Swanson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Vengrio comes to the ring accompanied by Muay Thai. The crowd seem to be enjoying Swanson's choice of entrance music: all nightmare long by metallica. Karl Swanson told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
