Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Daniel Cook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and CroCop Filipovic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Filipovic comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Infected Mushroom - Drop Out kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Daniel Cook looks tired to me. Hopefully he has got enough gas left in the tank to put in a good performance.
