Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Euphegen Doubdtfire (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jacek Krakowiak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Doubdtfire kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is I'd Rather Go Blind. Krakowiak has chosen O.S.T.R & Kasta - Dzis ide walczyc mamo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Euphegen Doubdtfire could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jacek Krakowiak's chin.
