Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Stadin Kingi (ranked 255 p4p, 36 weight class) and Finn The Human (ranked 571 p4p, 82 weight class). Kingi comes into the arena with Kahvimaito blaring out of the sound system. The Human has chosen Adventure Time as his entrance music. 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.
