Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Dominik Kokoszka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jack Douglas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Douglas has chosen Go For a Soda by Kim Mitchell as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
