Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arvydas Sabonis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Santeri Sikaniska (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sabonis's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, James Brown - Superbad. Sikaniska comes into a darkened arena with his song building. 2 Brothers on the 4th floor - Fairytales kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
