Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kilo Maluga (ranked 1 p4p, 8 weight class) and Alborz Mumu (ranked 1 p4p, 4 weight class). Maluga comes to the cage accompanied by JUNGLE. 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.
