Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kim Jong (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Luke Daigle (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jong kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Nobody Nobody. Daigle has chosen Molesta Ewenement - Wszystko wporzo as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Kim Jong could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Luke Daigle's chin.
