Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Oskar Friman (ranked 342 p4p, 636 weight class) and Disco Kid (ranked 43 p4p, 87 weight class). Kid is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Wu Tang Clan - Protect Ya Neck. 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.
