Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Aubrey Graham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Umma Gumma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Graham comes to the ring accompanied by Drake - Right Above It. Gumma has chosen Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Groo as his entrance music. 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.
