Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ze Minotauro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bjorn Ironside (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Minotauro kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Buckethead - jump man. 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.
