Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ryder Young (ranked 86 p4p, 145 weight class) and Jerome Kyrylo (ranked 8 p4p, 11 weight class). Young's entrance music is Of Monsters and Men - Destroyer. A fine choice. 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.
