Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jingle Jingle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksandr Kozlov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jingle's entrance music is Kay Kyser - I got spurs that jingle jangle jingle. A fine choice. Kozlov has chosen Patrioticheskaya Pesnya as his entrance music. Aleksandr Kozlov told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
