Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Robin Gaia (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tomko Trupu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gaia's entrance music is Manowar- Battle Hymn. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Trupu's choice of entrance music: Godsmack I Stand Alone. 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.
