Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Derek Payne (ranked 657 p4p, 71 weight class) and Zaurbek Akhmedov (ranked 2203 p4p, 236 weight class). Akhmedov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Bullet For My Valentine - Scream Aim Fire. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
