Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Igor Schiknsi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jon Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Schiknsi comes into the arena with Po Russki blaring out of the sound system. Jackson is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Joker & The Thief. 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.
