Coming up we have a heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kjetil Olsen (ranked 42 p4p, 38 weight class) and Jeronimo Puno (ranked 10 p4p, 9 weight class). Olsen comes to the cage accompanied by Night Lovell ft. Lil West - Fukk!!CodeRED. Puno is bobbing his head along to his entrance song: RAGS 2 RICHES. 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.
