Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yrjo Jarvinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mason Watson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jarvinen kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Ini Kamoze- Here comes the hotstepper. Watson has chosen How Much For One Rib? 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.
