Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Jonny Bones (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jason Krutcher (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bones might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Fight Music D12. The crowd seem to be enjoying Krutcher's choice of entrance music: Fun Things - Savage. Jonny Bones has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
