Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Dariusz Ruslan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Greg VanWinkle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ruslan's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Hester Prynne. VanWinkle has chosen Motorhead - Smiling Like A Killer as his entrance music. 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.
