Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mirko Prococ (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Heith Jardine (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jardine is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Cant Be Touched. 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.
