Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Soul Makossa (ranked 4661 p4p, 445 weight class) and Henri Jospin (ranked 3447 p4p, 389 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Makossa might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to SOUL MAKOSSA 2.0. Jospin has chosen Clash as his entrance music, which hasn't gone down very well with the crowd. Henri Jospin is the more experienced fighter, so let's see if that makes a difference tonight.
