Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between JaKaSa Chaos (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacques St Croix (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chaos comes into the arena with Moonsorrow - Kuolleiden maa blaring out of the sound system. St Croix is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Erasure - A Little Respect. 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.
