Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hagen Germanicus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Kim Jong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Germanicus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Now We Are Free. Jong has chosen Nobody Nobody as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
