Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Earnest Abe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sami Hyypia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Abe comes to the cage accompanied by Uncle Sam Goddamn. The crowd seem to be enjoying Hyypia's choice of entrance music: Al Bowlly - Hang out the stars in Indiana. 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.
