Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Pavel Kamionka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jeffrey Lebowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kamionka's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Damn Deal Done by Entombed. The crowd seem to be enjoying Lebowski's choice of entrance music: Lookin' Out My Back Door by Creedence. Jeffrey Lebowski has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
