Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hank McCoy (ranked 3941 p4p, 5468 weight class) and Vladyk Yefimkova (ranked 157 p4p, 213 weight class). Yefimkova has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. 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.
