Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Phil Nurse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Timo Kotipelto (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Nurse comes to the cage accompanied by Neon Genesis Evangelion. Kotipelto is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Peter Cetera & Amy Grant- Next Time I Fall . 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.
