Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Naru Jarkko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John Saunders (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jarkko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Hawaii 78 & E ala E. Saunders has chosen Fort Minor - Remember the Name as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
