Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kjell Dillon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Derek Higginsworth (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dillon kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pipes & Drums 1st Battalion Scots Guards. Higginsworth has chosen Mr. Grinch as his entrance music. 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?
