Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Christian Nolan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Viktors Bricis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nolan comes to the cage accompanied by Down - Stone the Crow. Bricis has chosen Rammstein - Ich Will 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.
