Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Kron Kai (ranked 239 p4p, 35 weight class) and Bjorn Ragnar (ranked 251 p4p, 36 weight class). Ragnar has chosen Shook Ones II 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.
