Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kazaki Fujita (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Victor Kovas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Fujita's entrance music is Metallica-Enter Sandman. A fine choice. Kovas has chosen Bankrobber by The Clash 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.
