Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ludko Struja (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Chocolate Mousse (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Struja kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is HIJACK - THE BADMAN IS ROBBIN. Mousse is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: Le Boudin. 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?
