Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Stephen Dyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ulric Hallestrom (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hallestrom has chosen With Oden On Our Side - Amon Amarth 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.
