Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Earl Bertane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johnny Stark (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bertane comes to the cage accompanied by Rihanna - Cheers (Drink To That) . Stark comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Dance Hall Days kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Earl Bertane had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 267.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. 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.
