Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Gwalchmei Wynne (ranked 3652 p4p, 3318 weight class) and Justin Edwards (ranked 430 p4p, 387 weight class). Edwards has chosen "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr. 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.
