Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ghengis Congo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Nigel Pykrete (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Congo comes into the arena with Ghostface - After the Smoke is Clear blaring out of the sound system. Pykrete is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Sympathy For The Devil. 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.
