Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Johann Kessler (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Devil Jho (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kessler's entrance music is Coal Chamber - Burgundy. A fine choice. Jho has chosen Into the Abyss 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.
