Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Trey Money (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Fabio Lopez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Money's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Triumph by Wu Tang Clan. Lopez has chosen Sacred (Blind Guardian) 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.
