Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Jacek Krakowiak (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Mini Stipe (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Krakowiak might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to O.S.T.R & Kasta - Dzis ide walczyc mamo. Stipe has chosen PRIDE FC - Opening Theme Song as his entrance music. Jacek Krakowiak could well score a knockout today. He has the power to get to Mini Stipe's chin.
