Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jai Malek (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Shane Rene (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rene has chosen Billionaire as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Malek has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
