Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Randy Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alfonso Sosa (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sosa has chosen Saliva - Ladies and Gentlemen as his entrance music. Ortiz has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. 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.
