Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Smith (ranked 327 p4p, 555 weight class) and Elric Wolfsbruder (ranked 17 p4p, 29 weight class). Smith comes to the cage accompanied by Song 2. Wolfsbruder has chosen Cradel to the grave as his entrance music. 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.
