Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Iivana Jalo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jules Winnfield (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jalo comes to the cage accompanied by Aino Venna - Waltz to Paris. The crowd seem to be enjoying Winnfield's choice of entrance music: Kool & the Gang - Jungle Boogie. 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.
