Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leland Chapman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Lee Sgt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sgt is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Full Metal Jacket. 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.
