Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sinisa Veljko (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Adnan Catic (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Veljko might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Stemm - Face the pain. Catic has chosen tool - the pot as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
