Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johnny Bizihwaeile (ranked 686 p4p, 83 weight class) and Roman Sionis (ranked 4335 p4p, 364 weight class). Bizihwaeile's entrance music is Problem - Say That Then ft. Glasses Malone. A fine choice. Sionis has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. This should be a great matchup!
