Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Martin Parszalkowski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Ivan Rodriguez (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Parszalkowski kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Bas Rutten - El Guapo likes to dance. 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.
