Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zeke Donovan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Jedrzejczyk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Donovan's entrance music is Mr. Sandman by Blind Guardian. A fine choice. Jedrzejczyk has chosen Chase And Status - Fire In Your Eyes ft. Maverick Sabre as his entrance music. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
