Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kenton Okunaba (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Abe De Vries (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). De Vries has chosen Sigur Ros - Svefn-g-englar as his entrance music. 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.
