Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jackṏb Jṏhanssṏn (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Johny Naboki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jṏhanssṏn might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Whip - Divebomb. Naboki has chosen Major Lazer - Get Free (Ft. Amber Coffman) (Andy C Remix) as his entrance music. Johny Naboki is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
