Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Mario Huber (ranked 2591 p4p, 282 weight class) and Asko Vilenius (ranked 4307 p4p, 423 weight class). Huber kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Enter Sandman. 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.

Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tee Nah (ranked 793 p4p, 84 weight class) and Lexington Snape (ranked 625 p4p, 56 weight class).
