Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Akamai Hoi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Curry (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hoi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Blood Red Sky. Curry has chosen Molly Malone - The Dubliners 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.
