Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jimmy Sikblood (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Minoshi Kawajari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Sikblood might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Eminem - Ridaz. Kawajari has chosen Cinderella Man as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Jimmy Sikblood could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Minoshi Kawajari's chin.
