Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Tatov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Silo Dezba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tatov kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Superunknown. 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.
