Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Archibald Anderson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Lepeaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Anderson comes to the cage accompanied by Dropkick Murphys - Warriors Code . Lepeaux has chosen Epidémie 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.
