Coming up we have a super heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fritz Haarmann (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Gab Batista (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Haarmann comes to the cage accompanied by Macabre - Fritz Haarmann The Butcher . 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.
