Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Adeboye Temidare (ranked 2308 p4p, 2946 weight class) and Roddy Banner (ranked 305 p4p, 368 weight class). Banner has chosen BILMURI - LORDFARQUADZILLA as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
