Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Johan Axelsson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Bobby Zepp (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zepp is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Boom! Shake The Room . Axelsson has a slight injury, which hopefully won't affect the fight too much. Well, I have no idea who's going to take this one!
