Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Arvo Laar (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Elijah Pitakaka (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Laar comes to the cage accompanied by some random 90's estonia dance song i found on youtube. Pitakaka has chosen my dick as his entrance music. 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.
