Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Steve Zummi (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Dimitar Ivanov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zummi kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Gummi Bears. Both these guys have solid standup skills and neither is particularly fantastic on the ground, so let's hope for a nice standup war!
