Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Apollo Need (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sandro Filcic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Filcic has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
