Coming up we have a welterweight MMA rules bout between Sub Zero (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Olli Jokinen (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Zero's entrance music is Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby. A fine choice. Jokinen has chosen Prodigy - Poison as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Sub Zero has the better chin. Will he look to stand and bang today?
