Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Hanz Stokenhizer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Knox Yodsenklai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Stokenhizer might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Lucky Bullets "Cross the Line". Yodsenklai is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Traditional Wai Kru. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
