Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kirill Brown (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and john cena (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Brown's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Splin - Moyo serdce. The crowd seem to be enjoying cena's choice of entrance music: you cant see me . cena has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
