Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arnold Schwarzeneggar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Gatzby (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gatzby has chosen Gatsby's American Dream - Theatre as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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?
