Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mizark Coleman (ranked 2141 p4p, 3533 weight class) and Jorlan Vieira (ranked 87 p4p, 135 weight class). Coleman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Roid Rage Holla. 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?
