Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Rudolf Kleinschmidt (ranked 403 p4p, 60 weight class) and Timur Umarov (ranked 781 p4p, 113 weight class). Kleinschmidt comes to the cage accompanied by DMX- It's hot and hell is dark. Umarov is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by 2Pac - When We Ride On Our Enemies. 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.
