Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Tony Bohlin (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Stefan Pozsgai (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Bohlin might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Kanashimi wo Yasashisa Ni by Little by Little. Pozsgai has chosen PC Park - Klatka as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Stefan Pozsgai has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Tony Bohlin's chin.
