Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Marko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nigel York (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marko kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Unstoppable-E.S. Posthumus. York is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by British Grenadiers Song. 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.
