Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Loo Cang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and frank hansen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). hansen has chosen master of puppets as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
