Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Jason Krutcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Paolo Da Silva (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krutcher kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fun Things - Savage. Da Silva is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Capoeira do Brasil (Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66). Jason Krutcher could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Paolo Da Silva's chin.
