Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kalle Kinkeri (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Alex Rua (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rua is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: West Bound And Down. Rua has a niggling injury. He would have liked to come in 100% fit but that's not always possible.
