Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Owen Schmitt (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jari Lehtonen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class).

Lehtonen comes into a darkened arena with his song building. Michael Jackson - They Don't Care About Us kicks in, the lights come on and the crowd goes wild! What a showman! Owen Schmitt could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Jari Lehtonen's chin.
