Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zhang Liao (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Robert Mason (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Liao comes to the cage accompanied by Rammstein-Feuer Frei!. 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.
