Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Seaville Bri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Hamish Kersikov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kersikov has chosen Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding - I Need Your Love (Da Tweekaz Remix) 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.
