Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Andrei Chikatilo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Augostino Peitexeira (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chikatilo kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Black Sunshine. 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.
