Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sergei Baduk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lyoto Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Rua has chosen AVANTASIA-Seven Angels as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sergei Baduk had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
