Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pao Ling (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Henrik Luhtanen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Ling's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Jay Chou - General/Checkmate. 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.
