Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Leif Erikson (ranked 1157 p4p, 161 weight class) and Xafan Kong (ranked 493 p4p, 75 weight class). Erikson comes into the arena with Into Battle - Ensiferum blaring out of the sound system. Kong has chosen Demon's Theme as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
