Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Shane Griffin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Davis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Griffin comes into the arena with Wait and Bleed by Slipknot blaring out of the sound system. Davis is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Sober by Tool. 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.
