Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ze Minotauro (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Miklo Velka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Minotauro's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Buckethead - jump man. Velka has chosen Cypress Hill - Insane In The Membrane as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Miklo Velka has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
