Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Piotr Nawrocki (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arto Bambang (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Nawrocki might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kanye West - Amazing. Bambang has chosen Suicidal Tendencies - Nobody Hears as his entrance music. This should be a great matchup!
