Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robert Burneika (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mirko Cop (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Burneika kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is HK - Pompa. 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.
