Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Paul Joseph Watson (ranked 662 p4p, 1030 weight class) and Sol Kwon (ranked 97 p4p, 154 weight class). Watson comes to the cage accompanied by Anarchy in the UK. The crowd seem to be enjoying Kwon's choice of entrance music: Deep Purple - Smoke on the Water. These two fighters really are very evenly matched on the feet - it will be fascinating to see who can assert themselves in that aspect of the fight.
