Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Gary Hudson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jari Lehtonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Hudson comes to the cage accompanied by Roll Over DJ. Lehtonen is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us. 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.
