Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leif Ericssonl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Crouch Ouch (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ericssonl's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Battle for Asgard. 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.
