Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John J Rambo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Su Nami (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rambo comes to the cage accompanied by American Badass. Nami has chosen New York as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
