Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Juan Carlos Ortiz (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Janek Kochanowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kochanowski has chosen Sting Of The Bumblebee as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
