Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Tonka Tomas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and King Bryan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bryan has chosen Nickelback - Burn It To the Ground as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
