Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bao Cheung (ranked 24875 p4p, 24874 weight class) and Louis Cyr (ranked 597 p4p, 630 weight class). Cheung's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Fei Long. Bao Cheung looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
