Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between DeAngelo Kenner (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Barac (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kenner comes to the cage accompanied by ''Death Wish'' by Jadakiss feat. Lil Wayne. Barac comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Connected kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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?
