Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kazuma Kuwabara (ranked 385 p4p, 716 weight class) and Jami Jarr (ranked 59 p4p, 103 weight class). Kuwabara's entrance music is Kazuma Kuwabara Theme. A fine choice. Jarr has chosen Wahhabi I 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?
