Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Ronald Rosing (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jan Jedrzejczyk (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Rosing might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Nicki Minaj - Pound The Alarm . Jedrzejczyk has chosen Chase And Status - Fire In Your Eyes ft. Maverick Sabre as his entrance music. Both fighters look pumped up here. Let's hope this is a good fight!
