Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Alviero Gonalves (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Amare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Amare is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Sky Skrapin-Jon Young. Amare has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Felix Amare will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
