Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Karl Kutowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Opie River (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kutowski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Absolute Beginner - Nie Nett. River comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Skillet - Monster kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
