Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Genghis The Mongol (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Freddy Kreuger (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Kreuger is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: "I'm Your Boogie Man" by White Zombie. 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.
