Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Curtis Johnson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Wan Soo (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johnson comes to the cage accompanied by Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix. The crowd seem to be enjoying Wan Soo's choice of entrance music: Rise of the Northstar - Welcame. 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.
