Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Bob Probert (ranked 571 p4p, 2053 weight class) and Rocco Damato (ranked 50 p4p, 175 weight class). Probert's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, DNA. Damato is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Thunderstruck. 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?
