Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Tekturo Khan (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sue Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Khan might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Ghengis Khan - Iron Maiden. Jackson is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Tässä Tulee Hirmuinen Rölli. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
