Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Renato Sanches (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kim Iljong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sanches comes to the cage accompanied by Breaking Benjamin - Ordinary Man . Iljong is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Last of the Mohicans - Promontory . 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.
