Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kim Jong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ta Sau Sei (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jong comes to the ring accompanied by Nobody Nobody. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sau Sei's choice of entrance music: 周杰倫 - 青花瓷. 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.
