Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gigante Guerreiro Daileon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and James Edwards (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Daileon's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Akira Kushida - Chou Wakusei Sentou Boukan Daileon. 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.
