Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Cobain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Nowak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nowak has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Jan Nowak will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
