Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yokozuma The Giant (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Antunes Coimbra (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Coimbra has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Yokozuma The Giant has the edge in experience - let's see if he can make that count tonight.
