Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Peter Jones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kalle Krook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jones's entrance music is Ennio Morricone - The Return of Ringo. A fine choice. The crowd seem to be enjoying Krook's choice of entrance music: Courage. Fingers crossed for an exciting fight - I'm sure both fighters are looking for a nice under the table bonus!
