Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Igor Ivanovich (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kjell Dillon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dillon has chosen Pipes & Drums 1st Battalion Scots Guards as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
