Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Dodong Janjan (ranked 2278 p4p, 1978 weight class) and Yin Mao (ranked 194 p4p, 171 weight class). Janjan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Love Addict. Mao has chosen HonestKey- Pass as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
