Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hekla Fengdu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bruno Oppenheim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Fengdu might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Get Naked. Oppenheim has chosen Fur Kaiser Gott Und Vaterland as his entrance music. Oppenheim has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Hekla Fengdu had a look across the cage there at his opponent. He definitely means business
