Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Chinese Guy (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Roman Lepeaux (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Lepeaux's choice of entrance music: Epidémie. 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.
