Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Simon Lluoma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Mcgrath (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lluoma comes to the cage accompanied by New Religion - Duran Duran. Mcgrath is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: 50 cent feat. Akon - I'll still kill. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
