Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gzrel Mephistopheles (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Umaga Beeturasa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Mephistopheles kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Warriors Dance. Beeturasa has chosen Metallicas Sanatarium, coming home 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.
