Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Methuselah Couture (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Driello Touredo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Couture's entrance music is wait, nvmnd! thats just the tapping of his cane as he walks.. A fine choice. 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.
