Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Bartlomiej Jan (ranked 1456 p4p, 1831 weight class) and Leo Vuce (ranked 106 p4p, 130 weight class). Jan kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WJFjXtHcy4. Vuce has chosen MC Yankoo as his entrance music. Leo Vuce told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
