Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Yeo Jae Suk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ghengis Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jae Suk might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to DJ SNAKE - GET LOW. Congo is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Ghostface - After the Smoke is Clear. Congo has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
