Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Musashimaru Koyo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Martin Van Helsing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Koyo comes into the arena with "Tengoku Kara Kaminari" by Israel Kamakawiwo'ole blaring out of the sound system. 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.
