Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Bojan Krickt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Petter Krustev (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krickt's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Eminem - Lose Yourself. Krustev has chosen Hubava si moya goro. as his entrance music. Petter Krustev told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
