Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Lock Bresnar (ranked 1295 p4p, 43 weight class) and Fedor Hunt (ranked 2258 p4p, 74 weight class). Bresnar's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, ABOVE THE LAW - murder rap. Hunt is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: BULLET - Rolling Home. 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.
