Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kriztov The Yeti (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tyson Drone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The Yeti comes into the arena with Duran Duran- Eye of the tiger blaring out of the sound system. Drone has chosen t.i and ludacris-wish you would 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.
