Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Chris Karter (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Yuri Boshtok (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Boshtok has chosen Jump Around M*thaf*cka 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.
