Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Tomek Gutzeit (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Pencil Neck (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Gutzeit comes to the ring accompanied by Sobota- Do gory leb. Neck is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Deep Purple - Bad Attitude. 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.
