Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between San Yan Chong (ranked 1590 p4p, 2334 weight class) and Robert Rhodes (ranked 54 p4p, 84 weight class). Chong kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Believer. 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.
