Coming up we have a lightweight MMA rules bout between Jian Lieu (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Buhawi Jack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Lieu's entrance music is "Da Rockwilder" by Method Man and Redman. A fine choice. Jack is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: enter sandman. Jian Lieu could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Buhawi Jack's chin.
