Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ben Hopkins (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Komuto Poebalunaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Hopkins might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Testament- Return To Serenity. The crowd seem to be enjoying Poebalunaka's choice of entrance music: Morbid Angel - Rapture. Komuto Poebalunaka is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
