Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between France Nigannou (ranked 2819 p4p, 108 weight class) and Dodong Santiago (ranked 3677 p4p, 132 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nigannou might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to This Is For Africa. The crowd seem to be enjoying Santiago's choice of entrance music: i just want it all. France Nigannou has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
