Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Canis Lupus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Eirik Rivfader (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Lupus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Wolf Song. Rivfader has chosen Jimmy Rebel as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
