Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Henderson Braga (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bong Ki Duk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ki Duk has chosen north korea's national anthem 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.
