Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karol Bedorf (ranked 3619 p4p, 4639 weight class) and Malosi Hokano (ranked 371 p4p, 425 weight class). Hokano is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Down under. Hokano has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Malosi Hokano will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
