Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lyoto Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Neik Hammerlik (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rua's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, AVANTASIA-Seven Angels. Hammerlik has chosen Motorhead-Enter Sandman 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.
