Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Sungwon Jung (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and William Arrol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Jung kept the crowd waiting but all that was forgotten when his ring entrance music started. The incomparable musical genius that is Body Head Bangerz feat. Lil' Boosie & Young Bleed - I Smoke, I Drank. Both these guys have really solid chins. Will we see a standup war or will they both decide that a knockout is unlikely and try to win the fight elsewhere?
