Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Andriy Voronin (ranked 678 p4p, 305 weight class) and Tsoko Chikatchawan (ranked 88 p4p, 40 weight class). The crowd seem to be enjoying Chikatchawan's choice of entrance music: Animal. 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.
