Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Johannis Modigh (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Les Sobrante (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Sobrante is bouncing up and down as he enters the arena, backed by Primus - Fisticuffs. 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.
