Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Solofa Fatu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Noongar Fella (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fatu comes into the arena with Bad Man blaring out of the sound system. Fella has chosen The Monster as his entrance music. 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.
