Coming up we have a featherweight MMA rules bout between Heinrich Dussander (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Karel Gil (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Dussander kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is A Perfect Circle-Imagine. Gil has chosen Arkansas Razorback Fight Song as his entrance music. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
