Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Cain Marko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and J Breaker (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Marko comes to the cage accompanied by Get Back - Ludacris. Breaker is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Hustlin'. 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.
