Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Keasty Kannegaard (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Cristiano Cane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kannegaard might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ensiferum - Battle Song. Cane is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Breaking Benjamin - Diary of Jane. Cristiano Cane will no doubt be trying to keep this one on the feet, where he has a distinct advantage.
