Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Zeta Knox (ranked 465 p4p, 455 weight class) and Tauski Mountain (ranked 26 p4p, 24 weight class). Knox's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Five Finger Death Punch | Bad Company . 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.
