Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Franz Kafka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and He Man (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kafka comes to the cage accompanied by Heartbeats. Man has chosen He-Man theme song 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.
