Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Barol Kedorf (ranked 600 p4p, 91 weight class) and Koba Wyatt (ranked 493 p4p, 75 weight class). Kedorf comes to the cage accompanied by Ostatni dzwonek. Wyatt has chosen Channel Zero as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
