Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Eli Vieira (ranked 2489 p4p, 4458 weight class) and Andor Kovacs (ranked 299 p4p, 470 weight class). Kovacs has a niggling injury.

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.
