Coming up we have a bantamweight MMA rules bout between Mickey Cowan (ranked 60 p4p, 396 weight class) and Jorgen Kruth (ranked 6 p4p, 28 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Kruth's choice of entrance music: Black Hole Sun- Soundgarden. Jorgen Kruth told me before the fight that he's been watching a lot of DVDs so let's see if that helps him in this one! I can't wait to find out!
