Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between The Chimaera (ranked 698 p4p, 28 weight class) and Jackie Chan (ranked 727 p4p, 17 weight class). Chimaera's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, The Vikings warrior spirit. 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.
