Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Delphino Atlantis (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janek Kochanowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Atlantis kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is The Prodigy - Firestarter. Kochanowski comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Sting Of The Bumblebee kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Janek Kochanowski has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
