Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Byron Banky (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Anaconda Yadav (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Banky comes to the cage accompanied by Holy Diver-Dio. Yadav has chosen Shayad as his entrance music. Yadav has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Byron Banky looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
