Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedro Emeliandez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Melly Manpoof (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Manpoof is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: You gonna get knocked out by Me. Manpoof has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
