Coming up we have a light heavyweight MMA rules bout between Kobe Okoro (ranked 310 p4p, 331 weight class) and Celestyn Kluz (ranked 47 p4p, 49 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Okoro might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to TOP OF MY GAME. Kluz has chosen Mark Crozer and The Rels - Broken Out In Love as his entrance music. The crowd giving both fighters a great reception on their way into the arena. That's good to see.
