Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Matt Cardone (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ryan Fatu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fatu has chosen Hawaii - Aloha-Oe as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Matt Cardone looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
