Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Florian Mir (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sergey Zverev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zverev has chosen Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins.
