Coming up we have a middleweight MMA rules bout between Anthony Abaddon (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class) and Jari Harrikari (ranked 0 p4p, 0 weight class). Chooooooooon! I think Abaddon might be my favorite fighter, now he's come out to Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff. Harrikari has chosen Tool - Forty Six & 2 as his entrance music. Both fighters look fresh as a daisy as they make their way towards the cage.
