Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Mirko Bojanski (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Arthur Green (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Bojanski's ring entrance music is that housewives' favourite, Drowning Pool - Bodies (Let The Bodies Hit The Floor) . 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.
