Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Hop Sing Jung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Maksim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Jung might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jiu Jitsu. Maksim comes into a darkened arena with his song building. RUSSIA ANTHEM kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
