Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hokkus Pokkus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Felix Flashlighter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Pokkus's entrance music is Pantera - Walk.

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.
