Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hot Rod (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Vitali Zaitsef (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zaitsef is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Mother Puncher - Mastodon. 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.
