Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kokkoro Kirin (ranked 559 p4p, 1773 weight class) and James Fury (ranked 75 p4p, 237 weight class). Fury is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Astronaut in the ocean. 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.
