Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Blind Shaman (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Marcin Sokol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Shaman kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Shaman's Dream. The crowd seem to be enjoying Sokol's choice of entrance music: DMX - X gon' give it to Ya. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
