Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kayden Jotham (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paul Zidel (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zidel is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Are You In? - Incubus. Kayden Jotham looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
