Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zbigniew Ciosek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kim Jong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jong has chosen Nobody Nobody 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.
