Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Xavier Gracie (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ashur Perun (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gracie's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Powerman 5000 - Drop The Bombshell. Perun has chosen Judith 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.
