Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Byeongsuk Kim (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mohammed Hossain (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Kim might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Choi Hong Man-Beauty and the Beast. Hossain has chosen Ghuraba as his entrance music. Byeongsuk Kim had a look across the ring there at his opponent. He definitely means business
