Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bunny Anstey (ranked 4261 p4p, 469 weight class) and Hades Hug (ranked 2123 p4p, 249 weight class). Hug comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Animal I Have Become kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
