Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between John Bourne (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Romo Diaz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bourne comes into the arena with Bawitdaba blaring out of the sound system. 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.
