Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Min-Sik Song (ranked 26 p4p, 3 weight class) and Teke Bamalog (ranked 128 p4p, 16 weight class). Song comes into the arena with Akatsuki blaring out of the sound system. Bamalog has chosen Stubborn Robot Original Nuttah as his entrance music. 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?
