Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Terry Bollea (ranked 3033 p4p, 3131 weight class) and Karol Soszkowski (ranked 304 p4p, 318 weight class). Bollea kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Somebody needs a hug - Keith Anderson. Soszkowski has chosen Lady Pank - Mniej niż zero as his entrance music. 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?
