Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Hawk Seibold (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mauri Kunnas (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Seibold comes into the arena with SCOTTISH PIPE blaring out of the sound system. Kunnas has chosen Jumal x10 Lavis - Jeesus as his entrance music. 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.
