Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kalle Krook (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jet Leet (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Krook comes into the arena with Courage blaring out of the sound system. Leet is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: hhhhh. 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.
