Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kurt Meyer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gattsu Emelianenko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Meyer's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, I'd Love to Knock the Hell out of You. Emelianenko has chosen Eagle Lands as his entrance music. 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.
