Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Earnest Abe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Grigory Gukepshev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abe's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Uncle Sam Goddamn. Gukepshev has chosen Iron Man as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
