Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Kaobon Killer (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Tero Rokka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Rokka has chosen Drowning Pool - Bodies as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
