Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Onizuka Stresemann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gregers Westerberg (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Stresemann comes into the arena with Takashi Sorimachi - Poison blaring out of the sound system. Westerberg is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Maitre Gims - J'me Tire. 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.
