Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Collins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Antti Kristian Saatanainen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Saatanainen's choice of entrance music: Irigy Hónaljmirigy - Rúgj Chuck Norris (Chuck Norris parody by Hungarians). 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.
