Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Hokkus Pokkus (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Zell Dincht (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Pokkus might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Pantera - Walk. Dincht is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Fanfare. 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.
