Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Njord Freyr (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nikola Popovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Freyr's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Twilight of the Thunder God. Njord Freyr had real problems making weight for this fight. After initially coming in at 266.1lbs, he had two hours to make the official fight weight. He made it but it will have taken a lot out of him to cut those extra few pounds. This should be fireworks!
