Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Teppo Turma (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Armand Agasi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Turma might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Slipknot - Psychosocial. Agasi has chosen Disicable -:Eminem as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
