Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Poto Tupu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and The Chimaera (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Tupu's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Youth Of The Nation. Chimaera has chosen The Vikings warrior spirit as his entrance music.
