Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Solid Snake (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Svullo Uzi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Uzi is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Svullo - ('Too fat for a fuck'). 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.
