Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Boris Travos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frank Lessnar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Travos's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Korn - Blind. Lessnar has chosen Amazing 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.
