Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Blake Perry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Damian Grabowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Perry kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Sound of Maddness from Shinedown. 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?
