Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Santa Claus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sione Finau (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Finau has chosen "Ninja Gaiden" by The Minibosses as his entrance music. 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.
