Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Fidel Puno (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Paulsen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Puno kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Fidel Entry Song. Paulsen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Turning Japanese kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! 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.
