Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Mikael Johansson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Darius Pudzianowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Johansson comes to the cage accompanied by Iron Man - Black Sabbath. Pudzianowski is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Tanzdiktator by Nachtmahr. 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.
