Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ettore Masiero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Sturd (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sturd is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Svenson & Gielen - Twisted (Original Mix). 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.
