Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tim Hard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bunny Anstey (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hard kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Crazy Bitch. Anstey is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by should've been a cowboy. 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?
