Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gica Ionescu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Chen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chen has chosen Tupac vs. Lynyrd Skynyrd as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Gica Ionescu looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
