Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Joe Krutel (ranked 126 p4p, 197 weight class) and Santas Bitch (ranked 21 p4p, 31 weight class). Bitch has chosen Havana 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.
