Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ameri CanChopper (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Barac (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). CanChopper kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Badass. Barac is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Connected. 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.
