Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Pupuki Namasuzuki (ranked 33 p4p, 76 weight class) and Leif Leifsson (ranked 6 p4p, 13 weight class). Namasuzuki kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Stand By Me- Ben King. 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.
