Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Parta Matti (ranked 125 p4p, 171 weight class) and Herbert Kreischer (ranked 12 p4p, 20 weight class). Matti comes to the cage accompanied by Language (Hula Cam) - Porter Robinson. Kreischer has chosen Bert Learns To Hip-Hop Dance To Post Malone as his entrance music. 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.
