Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Kyle Klinger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and St Petersburg Strangler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Klinger might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Jekyll and Hyde. Strangler is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Let Me Through by The Dead Weather. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
