Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Sabre (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Risto Jaloviina (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jaloviina is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: UNKLE - Reign. Jaloviina has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! 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.
