Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Brad Barnes (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Byeongsuk Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Barnes comes to the cage accompanied by Red Right Hand - Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Kim is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Choi Hong Man-Beauty and the Beast. Kim has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
