Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ahjo Kuomanen (ranked 66 p4p, 212 weight class) and Biscuit Oliva (ranked 6 p4p, 19 weight class). Kuomanen's entrance music is HonestKey - One Shot. A fine choice. Oliva has chosen Vo Williams - Primal (ft. Vyceroy) as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
