Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Remi Highjack (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Aleksandar Kamenov (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Highjack might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to The Outsider - A Perfect Circle. Kamenov has chosen Korn - Hey Daddy as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. 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.
