Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Juan Velasquez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luu Viulu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Velasquez comes to the cage accompanied by Accept's Balls To The Wall. 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.
