Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hulk Hogin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Professor F (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hogin comes to the cage accompanied by real american. F has chosen shortest man in world as his entrance music. F has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
