Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fedor Couture (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zdravko Dren (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Couture kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Pride Theme. Dren has chosen GETO BOYS - mind of a lunatic as his entrance music. Zdravko Dren will no doubt be looking to use his reach advantage to good effect.
