Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between How Long (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Sailo Damtea (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Damtea is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Ne Compare Pas (GSP Entrance Song). Sailo Damtea has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
