Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dmitri Makarov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Friedrich Siedenkranz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Makarov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Jean Michel Jarre - Second Rendez-Vous. Siedenkranz is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Undead. 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?
