Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrey Minakov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Drago (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Minakov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Terror-Keep Your Mouth Shut. 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 light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Felix Tilthammer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Simba Burns (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tilthammer's entrance music is Autumn - Suffer the wild dogs. A fine choice. Burns has chosen Shook Ones Pt 1 as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
