Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Blake Halder (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Raimonds Bergmanis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bergmanis is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Twiztid - We Don't Die. 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.
