Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gyukosho Fujimoto (ranked 13 p4p, 2 weight class) and Kvame Zulu (ranked 163 p4p, 24 weight class). Zulu has chosen Big Badaboom as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
