Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bobby Ray Freeman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Seti Setu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freeman comes to the cage accompanied by Some Bodies Gonna Get It. Setu has chosen Yelawolf - Catfish Billy 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.
