Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Pietrus Malkevicius (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Frenchy LeBatts (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Malkevicius kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Arch Enemy - We Will Rise. LeBatts has a pretty significant injury - he really shouldn't be fighting right now but he's a warrior and he's here none the less! Frenchy LeBatts has the power to score a knockout today if he connects clean with Pietrus Malkevicius's chin.
