Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bonnel Balingit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Brian Fantana (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fantana has chosen Starland Vocal Band-Afternoon Delight as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Fantana has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Bonnel Balingit has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
