Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gregory Motts (ranked 385 p4p, 1028 weight class) and Bruce Vanorden (ranked 55 p4p, 121 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Vanorden's choice of entrance music: Squad King Karter. 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.
