Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Baraka Obamacare (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Michael Jackson (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Obamacare comes to the cage accompanied by Etnoscope - Odin's Kraft. Jackson has chosen Black Sabbath - Children of the Sea as his entrance music. 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?
