Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hawk Fleximario (ranked 4 p4p, 67 weight class) and Wang Jang Jai (ranked 1 p4p, 6 weight class). Fleximario comes to the cage accompanied by Funkmeister. Jang Jai has chosen Snake Shadow as his entrance music. 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.
