Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ghengis Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Guntur Llaripukinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Congo's entrance music is Ghostface - After the Smoke is Clear. A fine choice. Llaripukinen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Elvis Presley - True Love Travels On A Gravel Road kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
