Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Clay Mercer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Neno Pejovsky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mercer comes into the arena with Kid CuDi - Wylin Cuz I'm Young blaring out of the sound system. Pejovsky has chosen Anvil of Crom as his entrance music. 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?
