Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sami Sykloni (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stanly Williams (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sykloni might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Within Temptation - Whole World Is Watching. Williams has chosen Kenny Loggins - I'm free as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighter's entrance songs getting the crowd jumping here.
