Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kalevi Commando Kukkonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and John McClane (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). McClane comes into a darkened arena with his song building. The Jimi Hendrix Experience - All Along The Watchtower kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
