Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Sorgi Kartov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henrik Stahl (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kartov might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Coal Chamber - Loco. Stahl has chosen 'Return to Jericho' by Asian Dub Foundation as his entrance music. Henrik Stahl told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
