Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lorenzo Gionathan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Po Panda (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gionathan comes into the arena with Swedish House Mafia Vs Tinie Tempah - Miami 2 Ibiza blaring out of the sound system. Panda has chosen Kung Fu Fighting by Carl Douglas 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?
